asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he is aware of the mounting number of fatal injuries at Dobshill crossroads, East Flint, the junction of the Wrexham-Hawarden A550 road and the Broughton-Buckley road; what measures he proposes; and if he will make a statement.

These are principal roads and any scheme for an improvement of the crossroads is initially a matter for Flintshire County Council, which is the highway authority. At the County Council's request, my Road Safety Unit is already investigating the accident situation at this junction.
